For me it's more annoying that we cannot discuss scanning issues here.

I'm interested in filtering the lists I view, not limiting other poster's discussions. If I can't see the post it doesn't mean there will be a lack of discussion. I think a means of personalization of the forum interface is actually a step toward leniency of those types of discussions. If the 'analog or die' purists don't see the post because they set a filter, they won't alert the moderators for removal of the thread
